The customer outcome
Run faster. Pull harder. Maintain less.
Stenter performance is limited when chain stability, rail wear, airflow, heat distribution or access for maintenance cannot keep pace with production demands.
N-Dura combines Marshall & Williams heavy-duty engineering with optimized aerodynamics and controls for high output, repeatable quality and long service life.
Series 2000 chain & rail
The industry benchmark for robust, high-speed tentering.
The Series 2000 system pairs more than 90 years of tenter-chain expertise with engineered materials, rolling rail support and controlled lubrication.
01
High-speed capability
Speeds up to 200 m/min with loads of 25 N/mm and above.
02
Long lubrication interval
Periodic relubrication at approximately 8,000 operating hours.
03
Reduced rail wear
Ball-bearing rolling action minimizes power consumption and wear.
04
Stable geometry
Laser-cut plate and extruded rail resist thermal distortion.
05
Chain choices
Clip, pin and combination versions are available.
06
Smooth transitions
Spring-steel rail joints enable consistent web movement.
